Ilant intimidation.
China held large military exercises in early November without prior notice around Taiwan and beyond the West Pacific, which Taiwanese officials described as "a quiet intimidation".
More than 100 military vessels and Chinese Coast Guards took part in the high, repeated attacks, siege scenarios and wider regional operations.
According to reports, a Chinese submarine also launched an intercontinental ballistic missile. About 70 vessels remained active on Friday, November 13.
The drills came ahead of next week's APEC summit in Shenzhen, where Trump and Xi are expected to meet.
